ORGANISATIONS in East Cleveland are set to benefit from the latest round of grants from the local parish council.

Saltburn, Marske and New Marske Parish Council has handed out more than £1,700 to help organisations within the three East Cleveland communities.

The council has agreed to sponsor two summer concerts at the Saltburn bandstand, contribute towards the provision of hanging baskets in Marske High Street and provide a seat for a memorial garden at Bydales School, Marske.

The council has also given money to help Langbaurgh Brass Band with travel and other associated costs.

The biggest grant - for £1,200 - goes to Marske Sports and Recreation Association to help cover expenses incurred in applying for a Lottery grant for its premises at Marske playing field.
